Can you let us know what the number of walkers would need to be to flag the need for a permit? i.e., if a "bunch of us" just got together to walk on that day, with coordinating t-shirts, would be have to jump through all these hoops?

In Arizona, we are looking at a very popular place called Tempe Town Lake. Tempe hosts many events like this. In its permit process, it states that insurance must be secured for any event. Events at Tempe Town Lake can have fireworks, water activities, carnival rides, etc. I have put a call in to see what they want for a simple 50-100 person walk with no special requirments. Waiting for a reply.

Question, is insurance available through PF? What should I tell the Tempe Risk Management Dept?

Hi Guys-
Im STILL working on securing a spot for the Grand Rapids, MI walk....there are a lot of walks going on in this area in May, and a lot of run around...grrrrr! Anyways, in my area, premits to hold the walk are going to cost between $200 to $500...is the foundation going to pay for the permit???

Yes, insurance will be available through PF. I just need to get a list compiled of who needs to be insured and then we can send out certificates.

Ideally, each location will be able to find a sponsor for the permit fee. If not, the PF will certainly pay for it and it will come out of the profits of the walk-a-thon. We will of course pay for it up front if needed and if you find a sponsor later, then they can just make the check out to the PF.

If you need a check, I need you to fax me an invoice from the City or a copy of the permit application or something. Our fax number is (952) 252-8096. Be sure to put on there who you want me to mail the check to.
